Hello folks,
I need some help / suggestions with a project I want to present, or at least, bring someone else that can present.
The area of focus is security awareness. The presentation will be business wide (including C-suite and Board members) and the topic is social engineering.
Quote \"Social Engineering (just in case some folks are unaware) attacks are designed to focus on various aspects of human nature and take advantage of them. Though not everyone will succumb to every attack, most are still vulnerable to one or more of the following - Intimidation, Authority, Consensus\" and so on and so forth. This is what I feel is going on today, A massive, global wide, social engineering attack from all angles and covering all parts of the social engineering principles.
Now, usually, and in most cases, this topic is centred on the \'run of the mill\' categories like phishing, spam, identity theft etc. What would be great to bring into the conversation are areas focusing on is CV19, Smart Cities, Vaccines, climate change, Ukraine, A21/2030 etc, and I could go on. Bring it to people\'s minds and attention as to how they\'ve been manipulated into thinking (and other things) certain ways about these topics, without that conspiracy tag by showing evidence (if possible) of the truth. It\'s a really difficult one, and will be controversial no doubt. It\'ll be one for presentation in the future, but one that definitely needs to happen, ensuring all topics are covered off from all angles.
Help and suggestions on how to prep, present and really help people understand the overall picture and how the areas combine with each other would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
